Pieces for summer days outdoors.
Here are the pieces we chose.

From camping and picnics
to excursions and sports days,
we introduce picnic rugs made from paper
and washable baskets to enjoy
both at home and outside.

Paper with a water-repellent backing
Made from industrial crepe paper,
these picnic rugs are light and easy to carry.

Their light weight is paired with water repellency:
a laminated backing helps repel moisture,
so that on damp ground
water is less likely to seep through.


Enjoying a washable basket
Lapeah, the material used for these baskets,
is a type of rattan found in parts of Southeast Asia.
Strong and durable,
it gradually gains a sheen with use
and develops a deeper color over time.

It tolerates washing with water,
making the baskets useful
for serving food. Dry them thoroughly after washing.

and feel closer to the nature around them. Its reusable paper products explore uses beyond disposables. This feature included shoulder pouches and small cases alongside the picnic rugs.
